This eLearning course is the first comprehensive HIV & Aging on-demand course of its kind, benefiting all members of the healthcare team. Whether you’re a clinician, nurse, social worker, case manager, community health worker, healthcare navigator, or other valued member of a healthcare team, this course is designed to address your learning needs in the HIV and Aging Services spaces.

Course Modules and Learning Paths:

Learning Paths are a sequence of course modules tailored to a specific audience. There are four learning paths to choose from (Click on the title of the learning path to register):

Continuing education (CEs) are offered; providers must complete all modules and the evaluation to obtain a certificate of completion.

Continuing education (CEs) are offered; providers must complete all modules and the evaluation to obtain a certificate of completion.
• HIV & Aging for Aging Service Providers: This learning path is designed for providers already working in the Aging sector who are looking to expand their knowledge of HIV.
